SUPPORT IS
LIMNC; QUITS
Charging that ho wa unablo to
get proper support of the council and
that tho support ho received was ren
dered grudgingly and without spirit,
nnd had to bo fought for Inch by
Inch, Flro Chief Ambrose tendored
hla resignation laat night at tho close
of the council mooting, effective No
vomber 1. Tho resignation wag ac
cepted on motion of Councilman, Col
vln. A few minute later Colvln of
fered to withdraw tho motion If hi
aocond would consent but Ambrose
refused to roconilder.
The donouoment followed consider
ntlon of several ordinances regarding
flro prevention. It wa midnight
nnnHKiim. sum
when tho council attacked tho mas.e,aT0 ,a,t n,Dt nd endorsed candl-
of regulations and some weary sug
gestion that thoy had hotter bo laid
ovor for a week were made. Under

tic, came In for criticism. Tho chief
grow rcstlos. Finally, ns tho coun
cil was ready to leave, he walked
from tho room to return In a few
minute with a written resignation
which ho handed to tho pollco judge.
Condemnation of tho Gam rooming
house, badly wrecked by fire-two or
three years ago, waa anothor factor
In tho situation. The chief last week
recommended condemnation and al
loged that the council was 'dilatory
In acting upon hla report.
' OntUwacM IntrodsKcd
1 A general Inspection ordinance,
an ordinance extending the fire lim
its, a gasoline storage ordinance, and
cm ordinance regulating theaters lie

Ions regarding fire escapes and exits,
bonfires without pcrmtu, disposal ot

ical extinguisher, provides oily waste

frame structuro shall be occuplod aa
a garago excepting buildings oc
cupied when the ordinance takes ef
fect, and that no lodging or roqmjng
houso shall bo In tho same building
ns a garago. t .
Itnmdrr Flro Llmitx
Tho ordlnanco extending fire lim
its broadens them for tho ontlre
length of Mnln street to Klamath on
tho south and IMno on tho north, ex
tending to thu street lines. It lea pa
I'luo between, Sixth nnd Ninth to
tako In property on tho north nldo of
Pine to tho next alley and taken In
other scattered blocks.
Gasoline Storage
If tho gasoline storage ordlnanco
passes It will put all gasoline in the
city four foot underground In metal
tanks, except quantities less than five
gallons and more than a quart which
must bo kopt ,ln regulation safety
cans.
'loading of this ordlnanco raised
tho quostlon as to the etfoct upon the
Standard Oil and Union Oil compan
ies. Ilotu aro Insldo tho city limits,
with capacity for storing thousands
of gallons of gusollno and Inflammn
blo oils.

Except for tho alight rlpplo cre
ated by tho shying of Paul Uogirdu'
m-aagear into tho stream or mu
nicipal politics, tho current of affairs
scorns to bo pursuing a ilugglsh
course Mr. Ilogardu Is In the race
for councilman from the first ward.
HI petition for nomination was In
circulation bright and early thl
morning and by noon had attained a
long list of signer. Mr. Dogardu
ald that ho waa In tho raos In re
Hponsa to tho demand of many neigh-
bors and not because his own lnclln-
atlona led him to seek tho place.
The central labor council held con'
dates for both city and county of
fices. A formal report will be Issued
tomorrow, announced the secretary
today, and the petitions will begin
circulating for the municipal selec
tions. The caucus at Mr. Dunbar's office
last night failed to crystallzo In any
deflnJto choice, as far aa tho Herald'a
Informalfih, goes and resolved Itself
Into a discussion of mon who might
be acceptable to the electorate In
guldanco of tho city's attain for the
next two years.
While all the political activities so
far have aerved to awaken public In
terest, It is felt that only the begin
ning of the chapter haa been written
and the lull today Is likely to be fol
lowed by lively developments befor
the week Is over.
There Is plenty of time yet for en
tries aa the city nominations do not
close until October 13, two weeka
way.

TKK HO.VOR ROLL v i
It la with a great deal ot sat-
Isfactlon that The Herald an-
nouncea the arrival of The Hon-
or Roll of Klamath County.
The publication ot thl book
was started over a year ago.
It waa n work that could not be 4
completed In a day, but It has
taken longer than anyone an-
tlclpated at the beginning.
However, tho result Justifies
tho time, labor .and expense In-
volved, nnd we know that no
book haa or ever will go Into
the homes of those fortunate
enoughfto have subscribed for
the Honor Roll that will be as
valuable or prised aa highly as
this particular publication. We 0
have submitted the Honor Roll
for examination and criticism
to a number of persons and they
have pronounced It to ho per-
feet. Wo know It Is. Wo know
that It Is going to recoivo n aim-

llvered with a sense of pride In

production of. a memorial
worthy of tho object sought to

All at the pictures that were 4J
used In tho preparation ot this
work will bo returned to thoao
who nro entitled to them. Thoy
will bo delivered by messenger
or registered mall. This will
Involvo a llttlo tme nnd labor,
but oach "picture will bo return-

Much time was spent last night at
the city council meeting In discussion
of the proposed amendment to the
parking ordinance, Introduced at fast
week's session, without definite re
sult. After two hour of argament
the ordinance was laid oror until
next week.
Jitney men were present with at
torneys to battle pro nnd con the
question of parking Jltneya on Mala
street. The- Central Anto service,
with headquarters on Sixth atreet
and 10 or 12 cars In rent service,
wanta to keep tho present location
and Is against removing the, restric
tion that gives the half block over
to Jitney use. Other taxi owners
claimed that the Central service so
filled the block that they could not
find room to park there. Naturally
they wanted to get back on Main.
Individually and through their at
torney, W. H. A. Renner, they pro
tested that a rent car had the same
right on Main atreet aa any other
car and If the time limit for parkina;
waa raised against one It ahonld be
raised for all.
Harry Poole spoke for the business
men and merchants, opposing farther
congestion on Main street by admit
ting the Jitneys to maintain their
stands and cars there. H. M. Man

ness men. also made an address In

There wna little discussion ot the

time limit, or rather the removal ot

Under the new section there wonld
be no time restriction during the day
and up to 1 o'clock in the morning.
To clear the streets tor street clean
ers It Is proposed to limit parking to
10 minutes from 1 o'clock until'

Councilman Brandenburg aald that
he had discussed the matter with
aeveral men and that when the pnblle
waa familiar with the matter thete
would be general protests against
lifting the time limit off entirely. To
leave time for the public to familiar
ize, themselves with the amendment
was ono ot the reasons for laying It
over a week.
